Photo Fun

I've actually done quite a few projects that I haven't taken the time to blog about lately. Things are getting more and more fun! I've designed my own website now, and am quicker about posting over there. Check it out www.lovechelldesigns.com

A couple months ago my nephew got baptized and we had a luncheon at my sister's house. I looked across the room and saw all my brothers and my dad sitting together and had to snap a few pictures. Well it turned into about 80 pictures, most of which involved hitting, pinching, nose-picking, tackling, silly faces, and laughing. I got a few that were actually decent but got home and threw them on my computer and I was so bummed out. The lighting was horrible, and the background was way too busy. I knew it would be busy and figured I could just crop it out, but the pictures didn't look right with the top cropped out. So, I had a bit of fun revamping one of the pictures. I now have it printed out, in a frame in my office reminding me of four of my favorite guys. :) Before and after:

I have this need. It lay dormant for a long time. Like, my whole life. And then all the sudden it was there, staring me in the face. I need to create. Come to think of it, the need began to express itself shortly after we made a decision to stop creating kids. Hmmm. So anyway, I have found a new passion for designing. I never thought I could design. I was always the numbers girl in any operation, definitely not the talented member. I was scared to even try it. And then one day I did. And I liked it. I am self-taught.... with a LOT of self-teaching yet to come (and hopefully some professional taught lessons in the mix) and I love designing. So far my projects have been limited to a very few. Mostly blog backgrounds and board-games. But I'm beginning to branch out. I thought it would be a good idea to have a place to keep track of all my creative vibes. To showcase them to myself and any other soul unfortunate enough to stumble here. The end.
